Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Barbara Oteng Gyasi has cautioned Dancehall Reggae artistes Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale to engage in a healthy competition that could project Ghana in a positive way to the global world.
According to her, “Charter House has raised the Ghanaian music to a different level with the awards scheme and with the 20th Anniversary; we were hoping it will create opportunities to draw more foreigners to the Ghanaian Music industry.
